My Awesome 2 Hour Half Marathon Playlist

I have run my last 4 half marathons with a pace band. It has helped me to stay on track with my pace and hit some really great goal times.

I've used various mixes from the Rock My Run app (which I LOVE) for long runs and for the Baltimore and DC half marathons. But for the Ocean City Half Marathon, I decided I wanted to create my own playlist.

So, I went all run nerd on this and sat down at my computer with my pace band, iTunes, and a playlist time calculator. I wanted to make sure that I had the perfect song at exactly the right moment - and I did! It has some pop, rap, rock, country, Christian - it's very random.Here's what I came up with...plus some reasons why and a bunch of YouTube links so you can listen!

T.H.E. (The Hardest Ever) - will.i.am (this is perfect for song 1 - starts out with a little swagger and builds! Plus it repeats "You can go hard or you can go home" a lot.)
